One Million Square Feet of History and Adventure
The Patriots Point Naval & Maritime Museum on South Carolina’s Charleston Harbor is a must-see. With WWII aircraft carrier USS Yorktown as centerpiece, the Museum is also home to destroyer USS Laffey, the Cold War Memorial, the Vietnam Experience, the Medal of Honor Museum and the Congressional Medal of Honor Society. It’s nearly 1,000,000 square feet of hands-on history combined with heroes’ stories and stunning natural landscapes.
We’re the destination for history and adventure with exhibits and more that engage families, veterans, tour groups, educators and others.
Upon arrival onsite at Patriots Point on the Charleston, SC harbor, the monumental aircraft carrier USS Yorktown will dominate the view. Adjacent is WWII destroyer USS Laffey and the realistic sights and sounds of the Vietnam Experience.
Orient yourself at the Information Desk in the hangar bay of the USS Yorktown. Knowledgeable volunteers are happy to provide information to help you start your exploration, or point you to stairs, specific exhibits and restrooms.
From the hangar bay, there is so much to explore, from vintage aircraft to historic maritime exhibits, special galleries and artifacts. Check out our Interactive Map to learn more!
